Capitol Square for the Lee monument.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Staples providing that i'll case the space
donated shall not be used for that pur-
pose the title shall revert to the State,
which amendment was accepted.
Mr. Keezell strongly advocated the

that the Capitol Square is the most APP
propriate spot for the monument
Mr. Berry endorsed the sentiments OF
the Senator from Rockingham, con-
tending that the family of our illustri-
ous dead should not be separated, but

previously made the special order for
that hour was taken up.
Mr.. Lovenstein said he thought this
bill had for its object the scattering OF

that it would deprive the State OF
large amount of interest. He said

DOoRKEEPER OF THE SENATE.
The Chair stated to the Senate that
Mr.. Il. Il. Wilson, the doorkeeper APP
pointed by the Senate, had notappeared
in his place since the recess, and that
he the Chair had learned that Wilson
was acting as clerk at the White Sui
phur Springs, West Virginia. On mo-
lion of the Senator from Clarke. the
Clerk was instructed not to draw war
rant for Mr.. Wilson's pay since the re-
cess. The election of Mr.. Wilson's

temporarily occupying his place, were
postponed for future consideration.

APPoRTIoNAiENT OF SENATOR'S AND DEL2-
GATES.
The second special order OF the day,
being the bill providing for an appor.
tionment of senators and members o'
the House of Delegates, was taken up.
The bill was amended so as to read D.:
"Scott, Lee, Wise, and Dickenson
shall constitute the Second senatorial
district"
Several dilatory motions were made
and amendments offered, all Of which
were voted down.
MIR. Mccormick spoke at some length
in favor of the bill and certain amend
ments which he desired put on it. The
geographical position is such that the
districting of the State as he desires 1t
will be greatly beneficial, and he did
not hesitate to say that it would add
one or more to the Democratic mem
bers on the floor of the Senate.
The constitutionality of the bill was
questioned, as times for reapportioning
the State are fixed by the Constitution.
This position was taken by Mr.. VIII
Iams. and the measure was opposed by
him and Messrs. Grim and Koiner.

OUR sentiment is that woman should be above and superior to the ballot. and that it's inevitable associations would disturb the beautiful symmetry and mar the halo of her domestic life, weaken her influence for the greatest good of the nation, disturb the charm ing equilibrium of society and throw a commonplace familiarity over her life and habits that would forever destroy that poetic homage that makes her our social queen. Strong-minded wo- men object with a vast deal of vinegar to any allusion of ours to their sphere" in life. With logic that is totally unstable they claim to have a special call to revise or reorganize the economy of creation, and to assume the full scope of mans prerogaUve, while exaeting his deferential homage. They ignore the fact that the influ- ence of good women is above and be- yond all other influences in shaping the higher destinies of nations and in purifying the lawmakers that rule oyer Us.

The coming congress will have its hands full on the tariff question. The centralization of capital in Trusts of every nature has become so alarming that careful revision of the tariff will be the only remedy to meet it. Hereto fore Trusts" have only affected few. but the following announcement of a brokers firm in New York shows the formation of ''sweetern one than all -one that will affect everybody:
 It may be considered a settled fact that a combination has been com pleted, including all the sugar refiner- ies and the Boston refineries, with one exception, thus bringing under the management and control of com- mittee of eleven refinerS almost the en- tire consumption of raw sugar and pro duction of refined sugar ii the United States. The combination represents a capital of Sl5,090,000, apportioned to the different reiinerles on an equitable basis for the division of profits. The only sugar retineries in the United States not included in the trust oT combination are two reiineries in Philadelphia, one in Boston. three small refinerieS in New Orleans, one in St. Louis not running, and two in San Francisco. The committee have full control of the production of refined, SC that it can be always regulated by the demand, by the running full or closing or partial closing of any refinery, and win have no difficulty in regulating the prices of refined to paying basis, as compared with market price of raw sugar.

HORACE GREELEY did as much as any other man to free the negroes; probably he did more than any other man in working up, moulding and ex- citing public opinion and bringing the masses of the North mp to the point Of eTnancipating the slaves. Yet these same slaves repudiated Mir Greeley, and refused to vote for him when he was a candidate for president. But the colored vote of this country amounts to nothing in national poli- ties. The negroes live in the South ern States where the whites are all democrats, therefore the black men have little or no power, even if they had the gratitude to assist into office the men who were foremost ill giving them freedom.-Ex.
